I applied for a UN job. After interview a month later, I was told on September 3rd that I had been retained, but I should immediately respond to the email by Yes or No. I replied with a Yes and on the 7th, i was asked to submit my p11 form and a copy of my highest diplmas. I did so the same day and since then I haven't heard anything from them and it has been over 3 weeks. I have written them to try to understand why the delay and to know what the next steps would be and got no response whatsoever. It was the UNHCR to ve more precise. Can you shed more light as to what can be the probable halt in communication and how long the delay can take?

Hello and thanks for the video. I work in recruitment for the UN and the point you mention about a Master's degree being required is not correct. If a candidate has a Bachelor's degree, and not a Master's degree, then they would still be able to apply for the job if they have the amount of required experience plus an additional two years. This is mentioned in the Education section of a typical job opening for a Professional position in the UN Secretariat.

Hello, this video has been quite informative and it got me thinking....maybe I could get some insight from you on my own experience. Earlier this year I got an invitation to apply for a position with UNOPS which I gladly did, some 5-6weeks after the deadline for application I checked my application status and saw that I was longlisted, the position status then moved to shortlisting and then to Evaluation and has been on that for more than a month. Actually I don't even understand what that means, if the shortlisted candidates have already been contacted and interviewed or not. It is as confusing to me as it is making me anxious because I have been longing to get a role with the UN. Can you at least explain this part to me if that's possible?

I don’t know for sure, I can only speak from my experience and every agency is different. I think it is mostly a problem if you are quite early in your career, for me I had 5 years of full time experience and 3 years of part time experience (but doing business development in an energy company) + masters and the system virtually discounted all of it - this was the first « cut » by a machine not looked at by people. The post was for someone with 5 years and they said I was counted as someone with 2-3 years. I have only ever successfully received consulting contracts in the UN, never a staff position and that is the case for 90% of the young people I know working in the system.
